Subject: net: nps_enet: Tx handler synchronization
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e5df49d564fe993c68f5cff6d96972a6358b4958;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

net: nps_enet: Tx handler synchronization

Below is a description of a possible problematic
sequence. CPU-A is sending a frame and CPU-B handles
the interrupt that indicates the frame was sent. CPU-B
reads an invalid value of tx_packet_sent.

	CPU-A				CPU-B
	-----				-----
	nps_enet_send_frame
	.
	.
	tx_skb = skb
	tx_packet_sent = true
	order HW to start tx
	.
	.
	HW complete tx
			    ------> 	get tx complete interrupt
					.
					.
					if(tx_packet_sent == true)
						handle tx_skb

	end memory transaction
	(tx_packet_sent actually
	 written)

Furthermore there is a dependency between tx_skb and tx_packet_sent.
There is no assurance that tx_skb contains a valid pointer at CPU B
when it sees tx_packet_sent == true.

Solution:

Initialize tx_skb to NULL and use it to indicate that packet was sent,
in this way tx_packet_sent can be removed.
Add a write memory barrier after setting tx_skb in order to make sure
that it is valid before HW is informed and IRQ is fired.

Fixed sequence will be:

       CPU-A                           CPU-B
       -----                           -----

	tx_skb = skb
	wmb()
	.
	.
	order HW to start tx
	.
	.
	HW complete tx
			------>		get tx complete interrupt
					.
					.
					if(tx_skb != NULL)
						handle tx_skb

					tx_skb = NULL
